About me:

Heyo! I'm Art, a twenty-one-year-old fangirl totally and completely obsessed with Harry Potter, Harry Potter fanfiction in particular.

I got the HP book set for Christmas in 2020, and I really did not expect to like it much. But I ended up falling deeply in love. I read the books quickly as I am a fairly fast reader, but I would often set the books aside and start reading fanfiction long before I finished the series. So basically, I spoiled the whole series for myself haha. BUT, I feel like I probably wouldn't have fallen so hard for Harry and Sev gen fic if I had focused solely on canon, as fanfiction convinced me to like Severus before I could really even properly dislike him. So that's okay.

I have always been a sucker for found family, in every fandom I've ever been a part of, and so Potions and Snitches is like a God send for me. In other fandoms I've had to search high and low for the couple of heartwarming family fluff fics, but I joined this site in early January 2021 and I still have so much to read!

I have been writing practically my whole life, but I was one of those writer-who-isn't-writing types. I mostly wrote songs and a few short fanfics. My older works for other fandoms on FFN are quite horrid, and I feel like I've learned a lot about the art as of late. I'm really super excited and proud of what I'm writing now, and I hope that my readers are enjoying my work half as much as I'm enjoying writing it!!

Thank you so much for taking the time to support my stories, you can check out my tumblr under MellarkandArt for story updates and general Potterhead nonsense! I'm also on Ao3 and FFN under the same username, and I'm in the P&S Discord, where my server nickname is Art! [Report This]

Title: Chapter 8: What Severus Snape Saw 20 Mar 2021
Reviewer: MellarkandArt (Signed)
    “Harry lowered the towel as Snape let go of his wrist. There were 24 reasons to hide. Good ones. Long reasons and short reasons, jagged reasons and curved reasons. Reasons that had been slashed, hit, burned, and beaten into him. Reasons his uncle wanted him to remember. Reasons that Harry was certain he'd never forget.”

Summer fic fest. At one point, early in their life, every wizard needs to submit to surgery. The summer after his first year at Hogwarts, it is the turn of Harry Potter to do so. It’s supposed to be a trifle, but what is ordinary about the Boy-who-lived? Complications will arise. Ghosts from the past will appear and secrets people thought buried for ever are revealed. The question is, in the middle of this ordeal, will Severus Snape at long last find something meaningful to do with his life?

    I’ve been reading your rewritten version on AO3 until last night when I found this, and I’m really glad Harry was sorted into Ravenclaw! I definitely thought that or Slytherin.
